WORDS OF WISDOM: Reggae star Shaggy claims extremist group ISIS needs to 'smoke weed' and listen to his music

JAMAICAN SINGER Shaggy has claimed that his music is "so emotional", terrorist group Isis would stop beheading people if they listened to it.

With US President Obama and secretary of state John Kerry working on strategies and plans for how the terrorist group can be stopped, it appears they've been wasting their time - all they need to do is find a CD player.

Reggae star Shaggy, who taught the world to lie about their infidelity in hit song It Wasn’t Me, has aired his own personal thoughts on how ISIS could be stopped for good, reported The Independent.

Speaking to the Miami New Times, Shaggy said his plan would involve strategically piping his music into ISIS base camps so that the terrorists could connect with his music on an emotional level.

He also suggested that the terrorists should get high.

“If you’re able to cut a man’s head off, you’re sick,” said Shaggy. “But right, music evokes emotion. So if they’re listening to Shaggy music or reggae music, they’re not going to want to cut somebody’s head off.”

He then predicted that that if the extremist group listened to his music, they might quit terrorism all together.

“There’s two things you want to do when you listen to reggae: You get somebody pregnant, or you’re f***ing high,” he explains. “High people don’t want to kill nothing; they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it among Isis.

“I guarantee there won’t be any more wars out there.”

Shaggy, real name Orville Richard Burell, actually has a military background - he enlisted in the US Marine Corps and worked as a field artillery cannon crewman. He even served in the Gulf War.
